<p>“I thought Robert was your friend.” So says Principal Sister Mary Catherine to Michael Novacek. Michael has just failed to intervene in a fight that has left Robert Petrich battered by one of the school bullies. Ashamed of his conduct, Michael embarks on an exploration of what it means to be a (young) man. It’s 1968, the year of Vietnam, assassinations, and political turmoil in America. While coping with the vicissitudes of adolescence — a weight problem, a first crush, the pressures of team sports, and the demands of friendship — 13-year-old Michael is forced to confront the world of adulthood in profound ways — his grandfather’s heart attack; his overbearing father’s win-at-all-costs campaign for mayor; his mother’s gradual withdrawal from the family; and his uncle’s growing depression.</p>

The Complete Adventures in the Connaught Rangers: the 88th Regiment during the Napoleonic Wars by a Serving Officer

A famous account-two volumes complete in one bookGrattan's account of his service with the famous 88th-The Connaught Rangers-the hardest fighting and possibly least appreciated regiment in Wellington's famous Peninsula Army fighting Napoleon's French, is well known and highly regarded by scholars and students of the Napoleonic Wars alike. For those who may be unfamiliar with it, this is a memoir full of incident and action, well written and charmingly enhanced by the many characterisations of and anecdotes about the irrepressible Irish soldiery who made up its ranks. This edition, at some 560 pages, should not be confused with edited versions in print; it is quite different. Grattan's account originally ran to two volumes and later editors have seen fit to considerably cut the text; had that editing only removed uninteresting, irrelevant or unentertaining material there would have been no purpose in this 'restored' edition. The Leonaur editors are pleased to offer the entire 'Adventures in the Connaught Rangers' unedited-both vital volumes in one edition for your enjoyment. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket for collectors.
